How to Say ‘What size do you wear?’ in Simplified Chinese
你穿多大的？
nǐ chuān duō dà de
[nee chuān duō dà de]
💬 Usage Tip: 多大 (duō dà) is "how big", and 的 at the end stands in for the item, so the sentence literally means "you wear how-big one?". The same pattern asks about colour: 你要什么颜色的？ "What colour do you want?"
